When Bridget was at the threshold of life and death, close to passing the point of no return from the ck hole, Queen Mcbride moved one of her hands as if to squeeze a balloon.


    After doing so, immense pressure appeared in the surroundings of the ck hole created by Minos, causing this region of space to copse in on itself until it generated a powerful explosion.


    The queen''s movement had been so strong and fast that that region of space didn''t have time to absorb her power, beingpressed in such a way that it exploded before it had a chance to evolve.


    A superb amount of spiritual energy spilled out into the surroundings,ing out of that region of space as both Minos and Bridget were hurled away.


    Powerful winds would form there, which could certainly damage half of Flowers City. However, the chief eunuch of this state went into action and created a substantial sphere-shaped barrier over a space of a 1-kilometer radius, keeping all damage within that space.


    Only Minos was inside that sphere, while Bridget''s body was already under the queen''s control, in the same position from which she had watched the entire match.


    As such, Minos suffered from the explosion of his own ck hole, spending 2 minutes of agony inside that enclosed space.


    ''Shit!'' He used all his energy to boost his defensive capabilities through the Devouring Art and Indestructible Body, while his armor helped him as well.


    Still, he suffered several blows from the powerful winds in that space, which, together with the spiritual energy, seemed to form des and fists against his body.


    The queen had given him the victory, but it was Emperor Stuart''s responsibility to withstand the st of his fusion!


    She had guaranteed that she would not act against him and that the local rules would be strictly followed. But never had she guaranteed she would protect him from himself!


    In this situation, she lets Minos deal with his problems alone!


    As he suffered, E sighed as she gave up on continuing there. Minos had beaten the two princesses, and as long as he survived that current situation, he would have his chance to rescue Oswald and leave the kingdom.


    ''Damn! The wretch did it!'' She wailed.


    At the same time, the various 9th and 10th experts in the surrounding area were disappointed at the defeat of the two princesses and this state''s loss of Minos'' genes.


    If they had known that Minos could cultivate inside one of his ck holes, they would never have allowed him to do such a thing!


    Unfortunately for them, Minos had never demonstrated his full possibilities and had never acted in such a caring manner before. Therefore, these people could not help regretting that they had iplete information.


    The woman supposed to receive Oswald''s genes saw Minos shedding blood as the pressure inside that sphere decreased, and shemented, turning and leaving right away.


    She wanted Oswald''s genes more than the woman who had lost Harold''s. But with this result, her loss could not be reversed, and she would no longer stick around.


    "Damn, Minos! Your cowardice saved you!" Adele, who was already conscious, said this aloud, with closed fists, observing the situation of her rival.


    At that moment, the chief eunuch undid the sphere-shaped shield around that space, finally freeing Minos.


    Feeling free and having endured that painful situation, Emperor Stuart stopped floating, exhausted as never before.


    He plummeted from the skies and fell into a fountain of the local royal pce, destroying that ce as if a meteor had fallen there.


    "Ouch!" Minos expressed pain in his expressions and sounds, feeling every fiber of his body hurt.


    The queen saw how resilient he was and sighed. "You beat my third youngest daughter. What do you want?"<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Cough... Cough!" Minos coughed up blood, trying to say what he wanted. "Release Oswald and send us to the ming Empire."


    The queen closed her eyes and gestured to the same woman who had freed Harold to apany Emperor Stuart. "Very well, you are free to go that way... I hope to see Your Majesty Minos Stuart again in my state someday. Next time, my warriors will not be so wary of you."


    "Cough! Goodbye." Minos didn''tment much, not intent on returning to thisnd of nightmares.


    He headed toward that level 89 woman, trying to endure the pain for his body as best he could.


    That way, he left the capital of the Flowers Kingdom, seeing some people there for thest time, but for some others, this would not be theirst time seeing each other!


    One of the women left there by Shannon apanied Emperor Stuart, ready to show him Mortimer''s current location.


    The level 89 woman saw the queen''s gaze and soon opened a wormhole with a destination fixed on Oswald''s position.


    "Very well, I will take you to Oswald Coleman and then drop you off near the border between the kingdom and the ming Empire."


    "OK."


    ...


    Minutester, Minos saw his grandfather being released from the cell he had seen him in earlier, giving no time for this fellow or himself to rest and soon leaving for the border of this state and his destination.


    Minos didn''t want to risk staying in this ce for more than an hour, so he hastened his departure from the Flowers Kingdom, leaving it to cultivateter when he was in the ming Empire.


    Oswald had understood his grandson and left to recuperateter as well, eager to return.


    Now that Harold had been freed, neither he nor his family owed any more debts to House Edwardstone. As such, he was free to finally live as he wished, travel the Spiritual World, and help his grandson as much as necessary.


    Thus, in less than 30 minutes after Bridget''s defeat, Minos, Oswald, and Shannon''s warrior arrived at the border of this state with that of Harold.


    "Very well, you are delivered where I promised you." The level 89 woman said, looking only at Minos. "I advise you to leave immediately. Otherwise, we will understand your staying as a sign of your interest to live in the kingdom."


    "You don''t need to tell me anything." Minos smiled.


    Then the three flew off toward the empire, with Oswald actively talking with his grandson about this fellow''s advances in recent years.


    Amidst this, the level 85 Spiritual Sage and the women of the border post Minos passed through years ago saw him crossing that border, sighing.


    In this man''s case, he was pleased to finally see Emperor Stuart leaving that state, giving them a chance to still have a positive rtionship in the future.


    ''This is good...'' This man thought. ''In the future, I will invite him to visit the Eastern Empire!''


    As he was thinking about that, suddenly someone that neither this man nor anyone else in the surrounding area expected appeared in front of Minos'' group just after he entered the ming Empire!
